I've been watching a large Cogshall mango as it grew to maturity on my tree. Clearly the largest fruit of the season for me, it weighed in at 1 pound, 8 ounces when I picked it. The shoulder was firm and red, the bottom was yellow and softer, with the rest of the fruit being green.
Cutting it open revealed the same. The red section was firm and bitter while the yellow area was overripe. What caught my attention was the seed, which had started to sprout roots. Not having seen this before, I'm more curious than concerned. What was up with this mango?
